📰 News we're reading
• Camden voters overwhelmingly show support for police (bangordailynews.com) — Camden voters have strongly backed keeping a full-service town police department with a full-time chief, rejecting the idea of shifting patrols to the Knox County Sheriff’s Office. All town meeting and school budget questions also passed by wide margins, after a highly attended election sparked by the departure of the shared police chief with Rockport. 
• Your Guide To MidCoast Maine's Best Campgrounds And RV Parks (everafterinthewoods.com) — One of the standout picks in this MidCoast camping guide is Camden Hills State Park, just outside the village, where campers wake up steps from Mount Battie’s trails and minutes from downtown. The piece compares 11 regional campgrounds and RV parks, but emphasizes Camden’s rare mix of big coastal views, forested sites, and easy access to harbor-side restaurants and shops.
• Falmouth tennis sweeps Class A championships, again (centralmaine.com) — Camden Hills’ boys tennis team fell 5-0 to powerhouse Falmouth in the Class A state championship, a rematch of last year’s final at Bates College. While Falmouth extended its remarkable winning streaks, the Windjammers capped another strong season that keeps Camden firmly in Maine’s top-tier high school tennis conversation.
